Iranian feature ‘The Ocean Behind the Window’ has won an award at the KINOLUB international film festival in Poland.
The film directed by Babak Nabizadeh, grabbed the Grand Prix and the Jury of the Film Educators Special Award of the seventh edition of the festival.

It aims “to create an environment for young people to actively and keenly participate in the cultural life and to develop new mindful audiovisual audiences”.
